Short Bio

I obtained my Ph.D. in physics from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and now work at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of Utrecht University as Marie-Curie Fellow. My current research interests focus on quantum information processing in hybrid quantum systems based on magnetic platforms. I am also interested in traditional spintronics and nanomagnetism which includes the dynamics of magnetic nanostructures such as domain walls, vortices and skyrmions, antiferromagnetic spintronics, and magnon transport.

Research interests

Quantum information

I mostly focus on the quantum information in the hybrid quantum systems based on magnetic systems. In particular,  I study the control over magnetic quantum states and their entanglement with quantum platforms (for example superconducting qubits, NV centers, cavity photons, phonons, etc) to achieve multifunctional quantum information processing. See our Cassyni talk for more details.

Skyrmion physics

Magnetic skyrmions are a class of magnetic textures with curling spin configurations that show promising applications in spintronic devices. I focus on the generation and manipulation of skyrmions subject to magnetic and electric drivings and the nonlinear interaction of magnons in skyrmions.

Antiferromagnetic spintronics

Antiferromagnetism is a form of magnetic structure with vanishingly small magnetization and is promising to supplement the traditional spintronics based on ferromagnets for its better stability,  fast dynamics, and rich control knobs. I study the dissipation channel, dynamics of magnetic textures, and magnon transport in the antiferromagnets.
